Melanosis coli is seen typically with frequent use of laxatives, it does not mention this in your question, but if you are frequent user attempt to find a bowel regiment to work for you without laxative use. Stool softener, increase fiber, miralax, Colace.
Specifically for cramping and gas pains, you can attempt a medication called bentyl for gas, or simethicone/gasX for gas relief. hope this helps.
